Not really.
The issue here was like this:
Today: we have ONE option - embedded Valentina.
Tomorrow we have: Embedded and Client/Server

What I was looking for was the fact that I either have to have two  
versions of the app (One embedded and One thin client (wont be thin  
with the embedded inside), or I could run a "keyed" VServer for just my  
app (thats how many other do it). This VServer is "licensed", and keyed  
to ONLY accept connections from a certain app, and maybe even a single  
connection. It will run on a predefined port (to avoid collisions with  
other servers as well).

I think this could be a good solution, as you would make many  
developers start to think "multi user" with single user development,  
and it will be VERY easy to just upgrade to a server that supports more  
connections (from the SAME app of cause).

Just thoughts, but I'm trying to find a way to distribute an app (like  
Znippetizer-X for example), where the user has a single user setup, and  
can just connect to esellerate for example, pay for a 10 user server,  
and boom, they can now run multiple users.

Payment btw:
You should have an easy way for developers to upgrade users licenses,  
like on esellerate (and others), where a product that is for example a  
100 user license of "the next cool app someone here makes", will  
automatically be registered, and Ruslan gets his share of the money,  
and the developer his/hers share, without a bunch of transactions (and  
waiting for the customer).

Just my 2 öre
